Analysis: Bitcoin spot demand continues to turn negative, with retail investor selling likely the main cause.

Since the launch of Robinhood Chain, meme coin trading on the FOMO platform has exhibited a clear "winner-takes-all" dynamic. Of the 375,740 users, approximately 95.2% either incurred losses or generated profits under $100. Data indicates only 229 users have netted over $10,000 in gains, representing roughly 0.06% of the total; an additional 653 users have earned more than $5,000, accounting for about 0.17%.

According to South Korean semiconductor media outlet The Elec, Samsung Electronics is using probe stations from U.S.-based FormFactor and Taiwan’s MPI to test silicon photonic integrated circuit (PIC) wafers, with plans to complete its independent evaluation of PICs within this year. Citing industry insiders, the report notes that both FormFactor and MPI have passed TSMC’s validations for Co-packaged Optics (CPO) and silicon photonics testing equipment. Samsung is leveraging the same testing infrastructure as TSMC to conduct optoelectronic characteristic tests on PIC wafers—including wavelength-domain and frequency-domain assessments—to verify whether optical components achieve the designed optical signal transmission and electro-optic conversion. Previously, Samsung outsourced PIC wafer verification to external institutions like Belgium’s imec; it is now building an in-house testing environment for repeat evaluations. The company also plans to proceed with customer evaluations and has indicated relevant projects will enter mass production starting in the second half of this year. The report adds that Samsung aims to launch silicon photonics foundry services in 2027, offering optical component process technologies, device libraries, and Process Design Kits (PDK). It is also advancing development of optical engines combining Electronic Integrated Circuit (EIC) and PIC, and will expand CPO applications from network switches to products like GPUs and CPUs in the future.

According to official announcements, OKX Wallet Boost’s new X Liquidity campaign is now live.

According to Glassnode data, BTC has faced significant selling pressure near the $83,000 level recently, with all address groups across all holding sizes turning net sellers across the board — a first since early June, signaling rising overall market selling pressure. Following BTC’s recent rally, whales and other holding groups have stepped up distributions, leading to persistent resistance near the $83,000 mark. Still, BTC’s potential "golden cross" offers some support for bulls, and short-term market direction will hinge on whether buyers can absorb current distribution pressure and break through this key resistance.

Beating AI News: OpenAI’s Codex now supports direct mobile control of agents running on Linux servers. Users can run `codex remote-control start` on the server, then execute `codex remote-control pair` to generate a temporary pairing code. By opening ChatGPT’s Remote page on their phone and entering the code, they can connect to the machine. Codex remains operational locally on the server, while the mobile device is used for task monitoring, sending new commands, and handling approvals. This functionality is particularly valuable for GPU clusters and headless Linux servers. Researcher Tanishq Mathew Abraham has used it to manage automated research experiments and training tasks on a Slurm GPU cluster via mobile. Some community users have also successfully deployed the feature on environments including Ubuntu and Arch Linux. However, OpenAI currently labels this feature as Experimental, and official documentation has not fully updated to match: the Developer Commands section outlines the CLI pairing method, but the main Remote Connections document still specifies that mobile pairing must be initiated from the Mac or Windows desktop app. GitHub also hosts reports of pairing failures between Linux and Android, as well as cases where devices fail to appear.

According to HTX market data, Bittensor (TAO) has recorded a 13.48% 24-hour gain, currently trading at $267.39. The project recently launched protocol adjustments including Root Reborn, which further optimizes TAO’s staking, capital allocation and reward distribution mechanisms within its subnet ecosystem, and has expanded to Robinhood Chain via Chainlink CCIP.
